Easy Orange Butter Cheese Cake (Less Sweet)

Posted on June 11, 2025June 12, 2025 By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy Orange Butter Cheese Cake (Less Sweet)

I need to finish up the bottled orange juice that we bought. Since I still had some cream cheese left, I decided to make orange butter cheese cake. I reduced the sugar thinking that the orange juice was quite sweet. I didn’t taste it before using it haha… Anyway, it ended up not bad. The cake was rich, moist and buttery. Not too sweet too. Try it out.

Ingredients:

125g salted butter (room temperature)
75g cream cheese (room temperature)
40g castor sugar (if you want it to be sweeter, use 70g)
3 eggs (Size B)
A dash of vanilla essence
125g self-rising flour (sifted)
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh/bottled/boxed of your choice)
Orange zest (optional)

Instructions:

The mixer speed I used was “1” throughout the process.

  1. Cream salted butter and cream cheese for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add sugar gradually while creaming. Cream for 5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one by one and vanilla essence. Beat for 10 minutes.
  4. Fold in sifted self-rising flour until incorporated.
  5. Add orange juice (and orange zest if you have) and continue folding until incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased/lined baking tray. I use a 2lb loaf tin.
  7. Bake in preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 45-50 minutes. It’s ready once the skewer comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the baking tin and cool on the rack.
  9. Serve or store in a container. Can last 2-3 days.

ONE TAP FORWARD TO THE FUTURE OF WEARABLES WITH HUAWEI WATCH 5

Posted on May 22, 2025May 22, 2025 By sweet surrender No Comments on ONE TAP FORWARD TO THE FUTURE OF WEARABLES WITH HUAWEI WATCH 5

Pre-Order The HUAWEI WATCH 5 Now To Unlock Precision Tracking Of Nine Essential Health Metrics And Power Through Your Week In Effortless Style

Huawei Watch 5

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 MAY 2025 – HUAWEI Consumer Business Group (CBG) recently announced the launch of the HUAWEI WATCH 5, the latest addition to the WATCH Series smartwatches. Building on a decade of innovation and design excellence, the HUAWEI WATCH Series, first introduced in 2015, has consistently set industry benchmarks by blending cutting-edge technology with intuitive and futuristic aesthetics. The latest generation, HUAWEI WATCH 5, elevates this legacy, introducing sophisticated multi-sensing X-TAP technology, revolutionary health monitoring capabilities, intuitive gesture interactions, and exceptional design craftsmanship.

Precision Craftsmanship Meets Future-Forward Design

Inspired by the Kármán Line, the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space, HUAWEI WATCH 5 features a sleek, integrated case design in two distinct sizes: the HUAWEI WATCH 5 42mm and the HUAWEI WATCH 5 46mm. Both models blend polished exteriors and finely detailed crowns, delivering a seamless balance between aesthetics and function.

Huawei Watch 5

Huawei’s expertise in colour development is reflected in the new Sand Gold and Beige editions for the 42mm model, and a Purple edition for the 46mm. These designs are crafted using 904L stainless steel, known for its durability and corrosion resistance. The 42mm uses this robust material, while the 46mm model features aerospace-grade silver, 45% lighter and nearly twice as strong as stainless steel. Both sizes are also available in minimalist 316L stainless steel variants, offering users refined options in compact and larger formats. Each watch is topped with a spherical sapphire glass, valued for its exceptional hardness and clarity.

Huawei Watch 5

The HUAWEI WATCH 5 comes with three strap materials, titanium, fluoroelastomer, and composite materials. The new composite strap mimics leather’s texture while being odour-free, waterproof, and stain-resistant. The high-tech plain leather straps come in denim (beige) and silk (purple) textures, suiting a wide range of fashion styles.

HUAWEI X-TAP TECHNOLOGY: A New Era of Health Monitoring and Interaction

At the heart of the HUAWEI WATCH 5 experience is the innovative Multi-sensing X-TAP technology. This groundbreaking feature integrates electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and tactile sensors in a single streamlined interface, extending health monitoring capabilities beyond traditional wrist-based detection to precise fingertip sensing. The introduction of this industry-first distributed sensing module significantly enhances the accuracy, speed, and comprehensiveness of health data collection.

Huawei Watch 5

The HUAWEI X-TAP technology distinguishes between varying levels of touch and pressure, enabling unique interactions across multiple smartwatch functions. By simply holding the X-TAP sensor for three seconds, users gain immediate access to Health Glance, a comprehensive health report encompassing 10 key metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV), emotional wellbeing, and blood oxygen saturation, all delivered within 60 seconds.

Powered by X-TAP, HUAWEI WATCH 5 introduces an industry-leading fingertip blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring capability, delivering accurate results in under 10 seconds. The fingertip sensor greatly enhances the quality of pulse wave detection by leveraging the dense vascular distribution and thinner skin at the fingertip.

Simple Gestures, Powerful Results

To simplify everyday interactions, the HUAWEI WATCH 5 introduces intuitive gesture controls, including Double Slide and Double Tap, enabling users to handle calls, manage music playback, and remotely control their smartphone camera with ease. These gestures are especially useful when screen interaction is limited, enhancing both convenience and accessibility. The feature is also supported across multiple smartwatch applications, including select third-party social app voice calls, ensuring seamless control across various use cases.

The HUAWEI WATCH 5 Series also supports eSIM, keeping users connected even without their smartphones, perfect for outdoor activities or busy days. The smartwatch also features a dual-mode battery, allowing flexible switching between Standard and Battery Saver modes. Users can enjoy up to 4.5 days of use on the 46mm model and up to 3 days on the 42mm in Standard Mode, while Battery Saver Mode extends battery life up to 11 and 7 days, respectively.

Through continuous innovation in wearable technology, including pioneering features like Multi-sensing X-TAP, advanced health monitoring, and intuitive gesture interactions, HUAWEI WATCH 5 Series reinforces Huawei’s leadership and commitment to enhancing users’ daily lives and wellbeing, allowing them to tap into the limitless potential of tomorrow.

Pricing and Availability
Huawei Watch 5

The HUAWEI WATCH 5 (from RM1,799), is now available for pre-orders through the HUAWEI Experience Stores, HUAWEI Official Website, HUAWEI Official Store on Shopee, HUAWEI Flagship Store on Lazada and  the Huawei Official TikTok Shop.

Exclusive Homemade Sarawak Laksa Recipe

Posted on May 18, 2025May 18, 2025 By sweet surrender No Comments on Exclusive Homemade Sarawak Laksa Recipe

It’s my first time cooking Sarawak Laksa single-handedly. Filming and cooking on my own wasn’t easy. Finally I got the videos all up. I’m compiling it here for easy reference. This exclusive recipe was shared to me by a friend. I was asked to make a video with it. So, here you go! It’s not your typical Sarawak Laksa broth. You see it here first! It’s thick and flavourful. Everything I used in the videos were not sponsored.

Prepare Omelette Strips

Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
Enough oil for cooking

Steps:
Beat eggs and salt.
Pour oil on a cold pan then heat it.
Pour the beaten egg and cook it until it’s cooked.
Then cut it into strips.


Prepare the Rest of the Ingredients

(1) Beehoon:
Boil a pot of water and cook the beehoon based on the instructions on the packet.
Drain it and set it aside.

(2) Chicken:
Boil 3 mugs of water with 1 tbsp of beaten ginger and 1 tsp of salt.
Put chicken in to boil then turn down the heat.
Cover the pot and cook for 8-9 minutes (depending on the chicken part you’re using) or until it’s cooked.
Bring out the chicken and let it sit to be aired.
After airing, cut into strips. If using breast meat, you can shred it.

(3) Prawn:
Bring the chicken soup to boil.
Put in the prawns (500g of prawns with shells on. Remove the shells before cooking. The shells are to be cooked with the broth).
Cook for 3 minutes max.
Bring out and set aside.

(4) Beansprouts:
Bring the chicken+prawn soup or a clean pot of water to boil.
Blanch the beansprouts.
Remove from the pot and set aside.


Sarawak Laksa Broth & Plating

This portion can feed about 5-8 people, depending on how big the eaters are.
You can freeze the broth if you can’t finish it in one sitting.
You can get the ingredients from my affiliate links that I’m sharing below.

Ingredients:
(A)
300g Cap Helang Matahari laksa paste (get it here https://invl.me/clmpb9y)
2 mugs water
1 pcs nutmeg (get it here https://invl.me/clmow16)
1 tsp tamarind paste (get it here https://invl.me/clmow1e)
2 tsp sugar (get it here https://invl.me/clmow1r)
Prawn shells from 500g of prawns

(B)
1 tbsp water
200ml UHT full cream milk (get it here https://invl.me/clmow0g)
200ml coconut milk (get it here https://invl.me/clmow0s)
1 1/2 tsp seasoning powder (e.g powdered chicken stock or Maggi Cukup Rasa https://invl.me/clmow23 or Knorr Pasti Sedap https://invl.me/clmow2s)

Steps:
Heat ingredient (A) till boil. Then, turn down the heat.
Add 1 tbsp of water into the middle. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
Add milk. Let it boil for 1 minute.
Add coconut milk. Let it boil for 1 minute.
Add seasoning powder. Let it boil for 5 minutes.
That’s all! Filter it before serving.
Serve it with all the other ingredients.

    Try it out if you want. The broth is so thick! You can even dilute it but it will be a totally different recipe which I’m not sure how hahaha! Diluting it requires different ratio of liquid and seasonings.

    14 Useful Tips for EXPO 2025 Casual Visitors

    Posted on May 7, 2025May 7, 2025 By sweet surrender No Comments on 14 Useful Tips for EXPO 2025 Casual Visitors

    Have you been to Expo 2025? Or are you planning to go there soon? I had posted about how to buy the Expo 2025 entrance ticket. This time, I’m going to share some tips on how to maximize your visit as a casual visitor like me. I only had a day to spare for this event. I’m glad I had the opportunity to go there. It’s likely a once in a lifetime visit for me.

    EXPO 2025 Osaka
    Before you go…

    1. Buy the ticket in advance. The earlier the better. Best to go on weekdays. Cheaper ticket & less (still large!) crowds. Read more in this post https://irenelaw.com/expo-2025-osaka-ticket/

    Get your tickets here…

    Klook.com

    Get the earliest entrance ticket. We wanted 9am but it was sold out. The second best is 10am. Might need to queue for 1 hour outdoor (sun/rain) to get in depending on how early you arrive. We arrived on time but got in at 11am.

    2. Study the map, plan your route. Use it as a guide. Book/reserve accordingly. If failed, there’s still plenty to see. A blessing in disguise as you are more flexible to wander around. Just walk-in to any pavilion with short/moving queue. My list actually required at least 4 days to complete 😂 Pick a few in each zone & see how it goes on actual day. Be flexible.

    3. Screen capture/print the ticket out as backup. There’s free WiFi at the entrance but still best to have it offline.

    4. Download the app as guide https://www.expo2025.or.jp/en/visitorsapp/ . It is useful for real-time navigation.

    What to bring or not to bring?

    5. IC card is good enough for cashless payments. I forgot to take photo of the recharge machines 🤦 It’s small, not obvious. You’ll find them in shops, at the corner, near the entrance. No English on the machine but shouldn’t be hard to figure out. Bring enough cash to reload your card.

    6. Bring your bottle to refill water. Many water stations. They will scan your water bottle at the entrance for illegal substance. Bags and body will be scanned too.

    7. Outside food is allowed. Plenty of food outlets inside. The prices are reasonable. Don’t worry. Don’t just set the budget for entrance tickets and transportation but budget for food too! You can bring your own food though to save some money. You’ll definitely need to allocate at least 10000yen/pax if you want to eat along the way depending on where, what, and the frequency you want to eat

    8. Extendable tripod is not allowed. Umbrella is OK. Bring raincoat if you want. A cap/hat is convenient. Check the weather. We’re blessed with clear weather. It started to rain when we left. The next day was a wet day. We had left Osaka. Phew…

    How to get there?
    EXPO 2025 Osaka East Gate Entrance

    9. The expo is easily accessible via public transport. Shuttle bus has fixed time (west gate). The subway (east gate) has flexible timing. I recommend the latter.

    Where to start?

    10. There are many souvenir shops/kiosks around. Don’t waste too much time in the official shop. However, do buy the passport at the shop upon entry if you want to get stamps at each location. I didn’t buy any souvenirs, not cheap 🤭 nothing fancied me too.

    11. Start your visit from the information office (if you arrive at east gate) so that you don’t mess up the sequence (we did but got it rectified). It was overwhelming at first! Chill, deep breath, and follow your planned route with the help of the visitor app/guide.

    Welcome to EXPO 2025 Osaka

    12. You can access the award-winning Grand Ring of Expo 2025 anytime you’re there. There is no need to walk throughout the ring. It’s too long! About 2km! Unless you have time to spare. Just go up one escalator and down at the next one.

    EXPO 2025 Osaka Grand Ring

    13. Toilets are everywhere and each has its own building design in the event ground of Expo 2025.

    14. There’s a transfer (e-Mover) from east gate to west gate and vice versa. It costs 400yen per pax (children too) by Osaka Metro. Our initial plan was to take it from west gate back to east gate but later decided to just walked back going through the Forest & Tranquility Zone. It’s actually not too far away as there were plenty to see and it made your walk felt shorter.

    EXPO 2025 Osaka Grand Ring

    Hope these tips helps. Thanks for reading this far.

    More updates…

    Lastly, feel free to check out more photos of Expo 2025 on my Instagram or Facebook. I’ll be updating more photos there.
